BREAKING: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has resigned amid an ethics investigation and bipartisan calls for her ouster.
• The resignation came minutes before the House Ethics Committee was set to hold a public hearing on potential punishment.
• Cherfilus-McCormick had been charged with stealing $5 million in COVID relief funds.
• She said the ethics proceedings did not constitute a fair process and that she was choosing to step aside rather than continue the political fight.
